Where does one draw the line on what is and is not Propaganda? I can't say that this page would help sway me one way or the other. It is however more than just an informational page. Lets keep .gov domains based in the least bias we can. I'd hate to see different government agencies and offices starting to spew their own version of this in a battle for public opinion.

It isn't informative. A giant banner with the words "NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE. LET'S MAKE OUR CALL FOR ACTION SO LOUD IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE" is a demand, not information. It's stifling the ability of people to think for themselves politically, and attempting to sway people into thinking what the government thinks. There's emotional bait there too, for Pete's sake.

it's not what the government thinks.. it's what the whitehouse thinks. there's actually this whole other political party that thinks the exact opposite..

it's kinda lame to see this article posted to hackernews really though..
